I guess I'm one of the fortunate ones who can feel a difference. Run harder and feels smoother.

Mobil 1 in my Yamaha FJR1300ABS with a "Power Commander" and I'm not a slow rider.

Redline in my cars, cause I've been using too long to change to Mobil 1.

Tufoil in both as an additive. Check www.tufoil.com The machinest that built my last BMW car, engine recommended it 130k miles and some 15 sets of tires ago. He was not wrong!

Has anybody done the Mobile 1 fully synthetic oil change yet? I did this today and I can feel an amazing difference. If anybody has done a fully synthetic oil change, can you tell a difference?

Oh and by-the-way, I broke my oil filter tool trying to take the original oil filter off, it was on that tight!
I will be using royal purple starting with my first oil change. On Horsepower TV they did a segment on royal purple. Visited the factory and talked to the employees. When the company started they were just using the oil for very heavy, expensive machinery. Like they said those folks wanted the best for that equipment. They test every truckload of raw material they use if it doesn't come up to specs the load is refused. I'm a believer. The show aired this Saturday and Sunday... did anyone else catch this show?

yeah i saw the show and they gave a good tour of the R P manufacturing process and they strive for the top notch quality and test the products from start to finish in a labratory setting. I am sold the show def convinced me to go with royal purple and none other

Why put Royal Purple in the rearend? The Ford fluid is already synthetic. I can't understand how it could be that much better. Is it?

Just put M1 in mine and it seems to run with less vibration. Seems to rev a bit easier. Very happy with it.

I've been running Mobil 1 for about 2,000 miles now - no notable increase in "power," but it does run smoother. Picked up a little extra mileage (.2 MPG).
